Description & Details

Welcome to Grandma Elsie's!

She loved the Lord and she loved to shop. I met "Grandma Elsie" way back in the 80's. At that time she was renting out her upstairs apartment addition to my aunt and sister. (which will also be open as part of the sale) By that time in her life she had already raised her three boys and was ready to bring more children into her loving home. Enter my son Michael at 6 wks old until he entered preschool at 4. I have no idea the total amount of children she cared for but we all lovingly called her Grandma Elsie. (I believe my son played with many of the vintage toys you will find in the sale!)

Not only was she a Mother, landlord, and childcare provider, she was (in no particular order) a seamstress (see craft room and vintage clothing), baker, decorator (see especially living room), shopper (well, everywhere), traveler, collector, flower arranger (see craft room), gift giver (see jewelry and toy room), and entertainer as you can plainly see she enjoyed welcoming friends and family into her home for holidays.

Things you will find in this home are: vintage jewelry, vintage clothing, vintage Christmas, vintage toys, vintage kitchen, vintage outdoor, vintage French Provincial furniture and decor., vintage lighting, vintage electronics, vintage bar, and so much more. Be sure to share this sale with your vintage loving friends and check out the pictures!!! The house will be going on the market soon after the sale.
